London socialite/influencer Kitty posts selfies by day, and murders misogynists by night. Shaped by a dark past and the disgusting violence women are so often face, she becomes a vigilante and can’t stop herself from chasing her next deserving prey.
Kitty felt like Dexter, if he had been filthy rich and even more of a sociopath. I truly couldn’t stand her, even though I understand her motives for killing. She was conceited, glamorized eating disorders, was constantly drunk and high, and the author’s attempts to give her depth fell flat for me. But I did like the mystery of the social media stalker who knew about Kitty’s murderous hobbies, and how her backstory unfolded slowly. And this female rage story was well timed in our current climate.
Major TW for eating disorders, a suicide attempt, drug/alcohol abuse, pregnancy loss, rape, and obviously graphic violence.
